Clmr. emend. — liostrum cylindricura, tcnuatum, perparum arciia- 

 tum, pone coxas posticas protensum ; scrobes antemedianaj, infra 

 rostrum desinentes. Oculi subgrosse granulati, antice baud ap- 

 proximati. Scapns ocidum baud attingens ; funiculus 7-articu- 

 latus, articulis duobus basalibus lougioribus, coeteris gradatim 

 brevioribus ; dava ovalis, distincta. Frothora.r subconicus, apice 

 supra paulo productus. Eh/tra cordiformia, basi prothoraco baud 

 latiora. Pedes elongati ; femora sublinearia, infra canaliculata, ct 

 dente parvo instructa ; tibuv recta?, sidcata? ; tarsi articulo penul- 

 timo late transverse. Rima pectoralis inter coxas posticas eva- 

 nescens. Coxce utrinque approximatce. Processus intercoxalis 

 latissimus. Abdomen scgraouto secimdo vix arapliato. 



In this g-eniis and the next the pectoral canal gradually 

 disappears behind, the apex of the rostrum in repose lying 

 beyond it. The tibiae in this and nearly all the following- 

 genera are longitudinally grooved, the intervals between the 

 grooves consisting of narrow elevated lines generally studded 

 with small scales. These are small, very glossy, glabrous 

 insects, frequently Avith a snowy-wdiite line along the upper 

 margin of the femora. The only species {T. nitida) is figured 

 on PI. XVI. fig. 8, and is from Aru and Dorey. 



Telaugia. 



Rostrum hand elongatimi, vix tenuatum, apice depressum parum 

 arcuatum ; scrobes praBmediana?, oblique, ad partem inferiorcm 

 oculorum currentes. Funiculus articulis duabus basalil)us loiigius- 

 culis, ca)teris brevibus ; chva ovata, distincta. Oculi latcrales, 

 tenue granulati. Prothoracc subconicus, lobis ocularibus fere obso- 

 letis. Ehjtra subcordiformia. Femora modice elongata, linearia, 

 infra subcanaliculata, mutica ; tibice rcctse, sulcatoe ; tarsi nor- 

 males. Rima pectoralis mesosterno evancscens. Abdomen uormale. 



As in Thyestetha^ the pectoral canal is not limited behind, 

 the mesosternum being hollowed out in the middle, allowing 

 the rostrum to pass between its two j)rojecting sides ; the 

 rostrum, however, does not extend beyond the intermediate 

 coxEe. The canal beneath the femora is not so well marked 

 as in Thyestetha.
